Carmel Crowned Within
Song of Solomon 7:5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Song of Solomon 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse portrays the beloved's head as Carmel and hair as purple, signaling regal dignity; it also says the king is held in the galleries, indicating an inner kingship present within consciousness.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the inner theater of your mind, Carmel represents a fortress of perception, and purple hair signals royal authority resting upon your thoughts. 'The king is held in the galleries' reveals the I AM king already enthroned in your consciousness, observed by the outer senses. The invitation is to shift from waiting for power to claiming it now: assume the king’s presence, crown your awareness, and feel it real. Address yourself in the present tense: I am king in my own mind; my realm follows my attention. As you persist in this revised state, outward events align with the inner arrangement, not by force but by the natural order of consciousness manifesting as lived experience. The text thus teaches you to govern from within, perceiving majesty where you once perceived lack.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine the crown resting atop your head, Carmel-like height behind you, hair glistening purple. Say softly, 'I am the king now,' and feel the royal presence saturate your entire being.
